Some of you may be aware that there is now a FaH client for GPUs - so you can join the FaH team, test the GPU and probably pwn everyone else with a couple of fast GPUs....

Check out the link above for details.

Great idea posting here David. Although many know of it, probably not many would think of it as a stress tool (for whatever reason). Would also be a good way to get a few more people folding for Team 32!

Greatest part about it for stress testing GPUs is you can basically leave it in the background. And it really puts the shader cores to work.

It's not big problem to run 1 client on gfx and other on cpu because gfx client use maybe 10-15% cpu power.
With F@H gpu client you can also notice that your precious new gfx cards are overheating on stock coolers like my 260 GTX :p and there's no game that can be compared with F@H in gfx load.
... so fold for Team 32 to at least check your graphic card stability ;)

In an effort to save our longstanding position at #3 and make our move the #2 folding@home position, a challenge has been put out to add 100 gpus to the fold by new years. Can we do it? :D
